Modular Tool System

Nautical_Nick

So my idea goes like this:
What if there was a type of work table that allowed you to create your own tools. E.g.A throwing knife or kinetic rifle. That is what I propose with the Tool Station. A crafting system similar to the workbench but you create your own tools using modules that you craft and then combine. For example, take a stasis rifle (base) then add a scope (top mounted mod) and then an extender (barrel) then you have a long ranged stasis rifle. This system would also work with torpedoes (see 'Modular Torpedoes?'). Please tell me what you think in the comments and please don't be jerks.

That could be so cool. A workbench that allows you to just put together modular components like magnets and moving parts, but that might take so long to implement

There is no such thing as an underwater throwing knife. A kinetic rifle is not going to be added, per devs. The use system seems to be limited to LMB and RMB as well, so I'm not sure what kind of functionality could be added.

Technically, chucking stuff with prop gun probably shouldn't work as well as it does.

The more I think of this, the more I feel like I would appreciate a more highly advanced Modification Station.

In much the same way that Doom 3 got reamed for the inability to simply duct-tape a flashlight to the various guns, I can see how attaching some sort of knife-bayonet to the various tools would be desirable in SN.

Can you guys flesh this out? What kind of stasis rifle bits make sense, or propulsion gun modules, or... hm. I can't really think of anything that compelling.

If you mean basically a harpoon gun, there's already a thread about that, with plenty of debate. :P
